Fifth in a collectible set of Eight Doctor Who Story Releases

Limited Coloured Vinyl Edition

Original TV Soundtrack by Dudley Simpson

Gatefold Sleeve by Clayton Hickman

Originally released on black vinyl in May 2020, there is a very limited number of orange vinyl available, part of an edition originally produced exclusively for the German market.

The Sun Makers (written by Robert Holmes) aired in November and December of 1977 with Tom Baker as the Doctor and is set on a tax-crippled planet Pluto.  Along with trusty assistant Leela and faithful K9, he exposes the corrupt Company, defeating the Collector and freeing the population from financial misery.

Composer Dudley Simpson (1922-2017) wrote prolifically for the BBC, producing hundreds of soundtracks for Doctor Who, The Tomorrow People, Blake’s Seven and many others.  The Sun Makers was scored for just six musicians and recorded, for the main part, live in the studio.  However, such is the musicianship of the players, several of whom where multi-instrumentalists, the resulting sound is much bigger.  The sleeve includes full notes by Mark Ayres.
